UNTTE STATES HERBERT T. BARDWELL', OF SPRINGFIELD, MASSACHUSETTS.

VERTICAL SPlNNlNG MULE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 384,496, dated June 12,1888.

Application filed March 10,1887. Serial No. 230.401. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it k nown that I, HERBERT T. BARDWELL, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Springfield, in the county of Hampden and State ofMassachusetts, have invented new and useful Improvements in VerticalSpinning- Mules, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in spinning-mules, the objectbeing to provide an improved machine of this class capable of verticalinstead of horizontal operation,wherehy the machine requires much lessfloor-space for its operation than do other mule'spinners heretoforemade, besides possessing other advantages hereinafter set forth; and theinvention consists in the peculiar construction and arrangement of themachine, all as hereinafter fully described, and pointed out in theclaims.

In the drawings forming part of this specification. Figure l is a frontelevation of the head of the machine, showing the detail parts ascompletely as is possible in a drawing which is necessarily so greatlyreduced, and of portions thereof extending laterally from each side ofthe head, and showing a front View of one of the end frames of the mule,said end frame and the parts attached thereto being shown broken awayfrom the parts which are attached to the head. Fig. 2 is a frontelevation of the lower portion of the head of the machine and ofportions thereof extending laterally from each side of the head, thisfigure showing in detail all of the operating parts of said portion ofthe head which are visible in front view, the parts in said figure beingmade upon as large a scale as the sheet permits of. Fig. 3is afrontelevation of the frame of the machine, showing the carriage thereof atits highest position and certain operative parts, hereinafter described.Fig. 4. is an end elevation showing the upper part of the machine brokenoff and the carriage at its lowest position, a part of the frame of themachine being shown with its upper and lower ends bro ken off. Fig. 5 isa vertical section on line :0 as, Fig. 2, looking toward the right insaid figure, a cross shaft being shown broken off and itssupporting-standard (shown in Fig. 2) not being shown, as hereinafterdescribed, said figure showing, also, a part of the carriage. Fig. 6 isa vertical section on the same line,

Fig. 2, as Fig. 5, butlooking to the left in Fig. 2, this figureshowing'also a portion of the carriage. Fig. 7 is a front elevation ofthe main driving-shaft of the machine, portions of the frame of thelatter, and of operative mechanism connected with said shaft, all asbelow described. Fig. Sis a longitudinal section of the shaft, portionsof the frame, and certain opertive parts shown in Fig. 7, as hereinafterfully described. Fig. 9 is a vertical sectional view (somewhat enlarged)through the frame to the left of the head of the machine in Fig. 3,showing the side of one of the partitions below described,an end View ofone of the driving-drums, and two of the spindles and theirband-connections with the drum. Figs. 10 to 15, inclusive, are detailviews of the mechanism for regulating the'building of the yarn on thebobbins, all of which are hereinafter fully described. Fig. 16 is asectional view of one of the carriage-operating scrolls, together withits hub and shaft, the latter being in elevation; and Fig. 17, an endview of said hub and scroll, the shaft being in section, all of whichare fully described below. Figs. 18 to 30, inclusive, illustrate detailparts of devices for regulating the tension of the yarn while it isbeing wound on the bobbin and for winding the yarn thereon, all ashereinafter fully described. Fig. 31 is a side elevation of a bobbin,showing thereon at its base the yarncone and in dotted lines the outlineform of the full bobbin. Figs. 32 and 33 are detail views of devicesco-operating with a shipping-shaft under the main shaft (see Figs. 7 and8) to regulate one of the several longitudinal movements of saidshipping-shaft, as L ter fully set forth, Fig. 32showingasection or hemain shaft of the machine and a worm thereon. Figs. 34 and 35 illustratedetail parts of the devices which set in operation the backing offmechanism. Fig. 36 is a side elevation, and Fig. 37 is a verticalsection, of detail parts of the machine for regulating the amount oftwist given to the yarn through said shipping-shaft, Fig. 36 showing asectional view of the said main shaft and a side view of a worm thereon,all of which is fully explained below. Fig. 38 illustrates detail partsin plan view of shipping mechanism for stopping the carriage at thebottom of its descent and for starting the same when it has been sostopped, as herein-
